As I explained in another - private - email, I apologize for this. I never
meant to say that the instructions were not working, and I really can't
claim "this does not work" if I don't follow the instructions. Ture.
Anyway, I was simply trying to get the packages installed and that's what
brought me to the list. I was trying to give an idea of the environment I
had, with as much information about my system as I found to be pertinent.
I suspected I had a problem with apt and will try something in that direction.
One thing that I forgot to mention: the very last line after the
atp-get install mythtv-suite
reads:
E: Broken packges
But I think you already know that.
On another note, I was fiddling with synaptic and found the mythtv-suite
option to be present there. Trying to add it generated several "strange
things are going on in the world" messages on the console. Yet, it
installed a bunch of things (codecs, mplayer, skins, infrared remote
control, etc), but never mentioned one single package about mythtv.
Finished the installation of this support stuff, I went back to synaptic
and checked for the mythtv-suite again, and it was not installed. Under the
dependencies tab, all of the mythtv modules were red (indicating broken
packages) and the last 3 in black. mysql-server, mysql (both from the
original RH9 install) and atrpms.
I really think there is something wrong with the repositories.
